• Mapping the impact of alien species on marine ecosystems: the Mediterranean Sea case study (2016, background): “Alien species often benefit some components of native biodiversity or have negative effects on biodiversity within one trophic level but positive effects on the biodiversity of higher trophic levels (Katsanevakis et al., 2014a; Thomsen et al., 2014).”
• The invasion of the azooxanthellate coral Tubastraea (Scleractinia: Dendrophylliidae) throughout the world: history, pathways and vectors (2016, background): “Biological invasions in the marine environment are prejudicial to both marine biodiversity (Grosholz et al. 2000; Carlton 2009; Thomsen et al. 2014) and the economies of those countries or regions (Pimentel et al.”
• Global meta‐analysis of the impacts of terrestrial invertebrate invaders on species, communities and ecosystems (2016, background): “However, organisms at higher trophic levels may benefit from habitat formation or the provision of food by invaders (Rodriguez, 2006; Thomsen et al., 2014).”
• Ecological impacts of invading seaweeds: a meta‐analysis of their effects at different trophic levels (2015, background): “…patterns suggest that competition would prevail in interactions between resident and non-native species within a trophic level, while processes such as habitat formation and food provision would ultimately result in neutral to positive effects towards higher trophic levels (Thomsen et al., 2014).”
• Global ecological impacts of invasive species in aquatic ecosystems (2016, background): “This study demonstrates that generalities in the impacts in multiple trophic levels do exist and are likely related to the trophic position of the invader and its ability to modify habitats (Thomsen et al., 2014; Maggi et al., 2015).”
